520    Takes a comprehensive Darwinian interpretation of human 
       development. Looking at the entire range of human 
       evolutionary history, Konner tells the story of how cross-
       cultural and universal characteristics of our growth from 
       infancy to adolescence became rooted in genetically 
       inherited characteristics of the human brain--From
